description:

Good large tanzanite crystals are seldom seen available on the market. Good large groupings of tanzanite are even more rare. This is an excellent grouping of terminated deep purplish to blue glassy tanzanite crystals, the largest measuring 7.2 cm in length. Complete all around and very clean of damage. Some of the crystal areas are translucent, some show areas of transparency. Measures 9.0 x 5.5 x 4.5 cm in size overall. This is an outstanding large example for this gem species! Ex Dawn and Jim Minette collection WW295. Previous labels showing that the specimen was in the special exhibit of the 2002 East Coast gem and mineral show, as well as a label from the recent special displays at the Munich mineral show 2017. Ex Dawn & James Minette collection.
